Casa Pura Vida - Your Costa Rican Get Away

Pura Vida in Epañol, is a common greeting in Costa Rica, meaning "Pure Life" or "What a Life". It is our desire that you experience Costa Rica and your stay at our Casa brings you many happy memories of the

Pure Life" it affords its visitors.

Location: Casa Pura Vida is located approximately three miles south of the villiage of Dominical. This is a private home nestled on 2 1/2 acres of rainforest with many exotic flowers and fruit trees for your pleasure.

General Information: The home is situated a short way up a mountain which affords it's visitors cool breezes and spectacular views of the sea and Caños Island where Jurassic Park was filmed. The Casa is a two bedroom plus loft area, 2 1/2 bath, a balcony off both bedrooms to sit and relax or bird watch. Large fully contained kitchen and living area. A beautiful pool with hammocks to relax in and an outside bath with shower. Maid service is provided once a week.

Troops of Congos, (Howler Monkeys) and White Face Monkeys are present most of the time. If you do not hear their very distinctive howl, look for swaying branches in the trees. Also look for tapirs, ant eaters, pizotes, and also a resident sloth. Two species of Tucan's share our property and appear around 4 p. m. near the pool.

Additionally, Casa Pura Vida offers a guest house with a king size bed, full bath, kitchen and wireless Internet connection. 6 people can sleep comfortably between the guest house and main house, but 8 can be accommodated as well, assuming of course that the loft is acceptable for two people.
